Kiplinger's ranks Alabama the No. 6 most tax-friendly state in new interactive map

Business and personal finance magazine Kiplinger's has
ranked Alabama No. 6 on its list of most tax-friendly states in a new online
interactive map.

The state-by-state map gives users a synopsis of the tax policies in each state and allows them to compare a variety of taxes, including income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes and so-called sin taxes on items like alcohol and tobacco, in different states.

The map also shows the most and least tax-friendly states, according to Kiplinger's. Delaware tops the friendly list, followed by Wyoming, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arizona, Alabama, Nevada, South Carolina, New Mexico and West Virginia.

The least tax friendly state is California, followed by Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont and Illinois.
